- The crouch accuracy is a tough one, but for someone to be moving full-speed and hit you 100% was pretty broken. Now it will make players have to shoot at the end of the slide rather than mid-slide when enemies will still have to track.
- 1 slide instead of 2 is understandable given that people doing the slide-tech to style on people was infuriating to track and made her like a Jett on steroids. She still can get her slide back after 2 kills and she gets a free slide during her ult so there is opportunity for the slide-tech.
- 8 points for her ult which is an aimbot beam which she can slide with and still get a refresh for is fair. It's a very strong ult in the hands of a capable player.
- The timer is another fair one because the ult feels almost endless especially if it's a player tearing through the team and getting refreshes after every kill.
- She still has a very fast energy regain which is better than Neon pre-buff.
Honestly, she's fine. This all might mean that Jett and Raze are now gonna be the 2 main duelists picked in pro-play, but this will balance out the overachievement of ranked players abusing Neon with less skill needed than Jett or other duelists/agents. Personally she is still better than pre-buff Neon given that she still slowed down when strafing side to side and her energy recharge was a lot slower.
That's a fine trade-off because Neon's value should be in her attack. Her 1 stun is still good given the wind-up is still 0.8s and it lasts for 3.5s. This will hopefully enable more people to play other agents asides duelists and duelist-vibe sentinel/controller/initiator agents or promote people to play agents that synergise with Neon well.
